I simplified a lot of API calls by pulling panel memory management
inside the library. All API calls which previously required a panel
as parameter are now handling their panel themself.
This is a breaking change which fixes bad closing behavior in
non-blocking popups. If the maximum size of a non-blocking popup was
not reached and you clicked to close the popup under it could happen
that it wouldn't be closed. This is now fixed in combination with
more popup control by allowing to set both the maximum height as
well as popup width.
Since it was not as apparent as I thought it is I added some
documentation warning to set the same flags each time you
include "nuklear.h" except `NK_IMPLEMENTATION` which is only
allowed to be defined once in *one* source file.
This is the first release version of nuklear (previously: zahnrad).
As for those who no the old version will notice: a lot has changed.
Most obvious should be the two biggest changes. First the name change
because I got critique that the name is hard to comprehend and
remember (understandable for non-germans) and the second is the
transistion from four files (zahnrad.h, zahnrad.c, stb_truetype
and stb_rect_pack) to one single header library file nuklear.h.
I am not 100% convinced that using a single header library is the
right choice here but so far I haven't encountered any problems.
Noticable should be as well that nuklear now directly embeds three
stb libraries: stb_truetype, stb_rect_pack and stb_textedit. Like
in previous versions the first two are optional and the library
can be compiled without. stb_textedit on the other hand powers
the text edit implementation for single as well as multiline
text manipulation. The text edit implementation is still relative
new and untested so you can expect some bugs I have not found yet.
In the demo department a lot changed as well. All platform demos
now don't compile one big demo but instead contain a simple
demo and small abstraction layer over the platform. Main benefit is
better understandablity improved ease of use. The old demo
is now split up and transfered into the example folder while each part
is self contained and compileable. (All examples use glfw I don't now
if this is the best platform but it is at least the simplest.
I also removed the apple demo because I don't have an apple system
and cannot make sure the new version runs with the old version.
Finally a lot of small bugs have been fixed as well as bugs found by
clang analyzer and coverity.
Previous visual changes in the library were quite limited with some
colors and some global properties. This commit changes all that and
provides way more control over every widgets visual appearance.
Changes include extended color selection, per widget properties and
the possibility to use skinning.
While the new API allows for a lot more control it is currently quite
low level and needs a lot more testing and probably another higher
level style API to make changes in code easier. I also had to remove
the style modification code inside the demo and will probably first
try to write another higher level API before adding it back in.
This commit also include some breaking changes to existing code like
the missing style stack API and some widget names changes due to
added granularity granted by the rewritten style.
The default draw command buffering API now supports filled and
outlined shapes as well as two additional commands: polygon and
polyline. While zahnrad only requires a small number of basic
filled draw command shapes to actual function the underlying canvas
to convert from draw commands to vertex buffer commands allows
for lot more. So the gap should now be filled and drawing more
complex custom is now a little bit easier. I thought about adding a
path drawing API to the draw command API but decided it is not
worth the hassle, at least for now.
The conversion function from rgb color to hsv color was bugged and
provided wrong values. It is now fixed and hopefully is now correct.
In addition a number of utility functions have been added to make
conversion between user provided color format and zahnrads own
format easier.
While dividing previously spared me from a lot of work and problems
it is probably best to have everything working for every or as many
platforms as possible. Some platforms fail to provide good ways
to support everything (e.g.:X11 does not have pixmap clipping with
different width/height or alpha-blending) but all OpenGL demos
outside allegro (needs some additional work) should be able to run.
